Rick Dreas transformed his living space with a striking dark stone fireplace surround, using GenStone’s Iron Ore Fireplace panels. The deep, rich tones of the Iron Ore product add a bold, modern touch while maintaining the timeless appeal of natural stone. The result is a stunning focal point that elevates the style and ambiance of the entire room, perfectly blending sophistication with cozy comfort.

Choosing a dark stone fireplace surround offers both dramatic visual contrast and a sense of warmth, making it an ideal choice for contemporary and traditional interiors alike. The dark hues highlight the flames, creating a captivating centerpiece that draws attention and invites relaxation. Whether entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this design ensures your fireplace stands out as the heart of your living area.
